How cheap is cheap? King offer pretty cheap 15X8's from memory.

Careful with the offset of "F100" rims - they changed offset once the track width increased in the 80's - the ROH listing for F150 will have the same offset as Vitara, not suitable for a Sierra with 11.5" tyres.

Speedy used to do a cheap F100 offset 15X8, but I don't think they are available any more?

ahh yes cheap (read $20 each or so ) we got a quote today for $65 each,
but the fella didnt know what offset we need and ive got no idea as i own a patrol . we were hoping to pick up something at the wreckers as they are only 20 each

go to a F series wrecker. they will throw them at you.

-18 is a good offset for a daily driver
-24 is good for a weekender
-34 is what I run and is good for a toy or track car.

Anything over -20 the cops will notice.

-18 will keep 31/10.5 15s inside the factory flairs

When I had 32 10.5 15s on -28 offset rims they stuck out by about 4cm from the factory flairs

If you talk to the small tyre shops like the mum and popps places where they don't have crazy mark ups you can get them for as low as $55 each.

Cops have never noticed mine with -28 on 33x12.5s. 3 years! 2 speeding fines in her, no defects.

thanks fellas we went -34 offset brand new speedys $65 each fitted with tyres supplied

[86slowsierra]

IMHO i wouldnt pay more than $50 for new steel wheels. they are after all a mass produced bit of steel with a lick of paint.

Sure you didn't get -24 speedy's. Last time I checked -24 was the most offset you could get in them and that's what I run.
